Notebooks and Jeans!

Ok. I wasn’t going to post these commercials but I get so excited every time they come on TV that I simply caved in. What is it about these TV spots? Is it the creative parody of some of our favorite 80′s hits (Word Up – Cameo, We Got The Beat – The Go-Go’s, and She Blinded Me With Science – Thomas Dolby)? Is it the unique attention to details with the sets (Tell me you don’t want the guitar made out of pencils and I’ll call you a liar.)? Whatever it is, these silly songs get stuck in my head, while conveying the message and reinforcing Targets position as a top destination for back-to-school shopping. Good job.

This was a stroke of marketing genius. It’s rare that there’s a commercial or marketing idea that you still remember from over a decade ago!

Hello Brooklyn

I don’t know what it is about this logo. On one hand, I’m satisfied. Decided that it lends itself to evoke vintage basketball with a modern twist. On the other hand, I want to bulk up the type, add some detail to the shield, and finish the damn thing. Either way, it grabs your attention, stands out amongst any of the NBA team logos because of it’s simplicity, and is as bold as Brooklyn. And maybe the symbolism here is that it is Brooklyn: there’s no gray area to the borough, it’s either hard or its not; unfinished in some areas but still solid; love it or leave it; unapologetic.
